There are reports coming in that a car crashed into one of the subway "headhouses" (the buildings that house the subway entrances) at West 72nd Street and Broadway. We're not sure if it's the new northern building or the older one on the south, but apparently three people were injured. According to initial reports, there are "two red tags" and "one yellow tag"—according to triage terminology, red tag is "immediate care / life-threatening" and yellow tag is "urgent care / can delay up to one hour." And the car may have been a taxi. We'll keep updating with what we learn—unclear whether this will affect the commute.
Update: As a commenter pointed out, the vehicle was a SUV cab, which hit the older, southern building. We're hearing that the cab driver was heading up Broadway and may have had brake failure.
Update, 5:40 p.m.: According to the Post, one of the injured was the cab's passenger. Also: "The crash was so loud that witnesses believed two trains had collided underground." And ABC 7 Eyewitness News' Jim Dolan reports, "A worker at Café 71 said he saw a cab moving very fast up Broadway and then jump the curb."
